Chapter 732 Rehearsal for the Graduation Drama

After Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others participated in the first parkour competition, when they arrived in Huaxia, both crews had already started work.

Although they are neither directors nor actors, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui are still more concerned about the two crews as the project they lead. After arriving in Huaxia, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui both went to their respective crews to care about the crew's filming situation and progress.

In this TV drama crew, Xiao Yao is neither a director nor an actor. As a producer, it is not necessary to stay in the crew every day, so after staying in the crew for a few days and finding that the crew is running normally, the shooting progress and the materials produced are basically satisfactory, Xiao Yao I stopped going to the crew and let those students play.

In film and television colleges, students in the acting department usually rehearse a graduation drama in the second semester of their senior year as a report performance at graduation. This is an important task for acting students in the last semester, but it is not absolutely impossible to be absent. Basically every year, some senior students will miss the graduation drama because they are filming outside.

The graduation performances of the acting departments of the three major colleges usually attract many professionals in the industry to watch. For those senior students who are about to graduate, it is also a rare opportunity to perform. If you perform well and can leave a very deep impression on the teachers in the school and the seniors in the circle, it will be very beneficial to your future development, so the rehearsal of this graduation drama is especially for the senior students, who are not very famous. For students, it is still very important.

Under normal circumstances, students from the acting department usually would not miss this opportunity to present their graduation drama unless they received a role with a relatively heavy role in a particularly important crew.

Normally, Xiao Yao originally planned to ask for leave to miss the rehearsal of the graduation drama. However, because the production crew is operating normally, other matters outside the production crew are also in charge of special personnel from the film and television company. Xiao Yao has not accepted a job recently, so he went to school to rehearse the graduation drama.

In the film and television industry, there are still very few opportunities for newcomers to make their debut. Except for a few students like Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui who have become famous since childhood and have relatively deep family background and network resources, it is difficult for ordinary senior students to get important roles in good film and television projects. Therefore, the number of students who are absent from the graduation drama every year because of filming is quite limited, and this ratio is relatively fixed.

In terms of Xiao Yao's fame, resources and strength, the school did not expect Xiao Yao to participate in the graduation drama, but even if Xiao Yao's unexpected school lined up for the graduation drama, it could not make up for Xiao Yao's contribution to this year's graduation drama. loss.

The actors of Xiao Yao's TV drama crew are all senior students in Shenxi's current class. The crew started filming in May, and they couldn't finish filming before graduation anyway. There are no major supporting roles in this drama, but the six protagonists basically appear in every episode. Some of the supporting roles and extras with fewer roles may also take care of the school's graduation drama, and the six leading actors all asked for leave because of this TV series and missed the rehearsal of Shenxi's graduation drama.

When the crew chose actors, they chose students who had better professional skills but were relatively less well-known, and had no resources or background. In other words, if Xiao Yao does not start this TV drama project, the actors of the six leading roles will all participate in the graduation drama. Because of Xiao Yao's TV series, the graduating dramas of Shenxi's acting department this year lost six main actors, basically a whole drama was missing.

Of course, the school hopes that students will have a good development after graduation, become famous and successful in their careers. Compared with performing a stage play in front of hundreds of thousands of people in the school auditorium, it is obviously more beneficial to their development to star in a TV series that can be broadcast on TV and on the website, so Xiao Yao opened a project to find the school The school is very welcome and supportive of the fact that my classmates are acting as the protagonists, and I am happy to see it succeed.

But since Xiao Yao, the evil school, came to rehearse the play, the teachers of the acting department naturally used this as an excuse to put a heavier burden on Xiao Yao, the guy who had been a director.

The graduation drama is a very important event for the senior students in the acting department in the second half of the semester, and they started preparing very early. However, due to sufficient time, the general rehearsal process will continue to improve and correct, and the whole play will not be finalized very early. It was still mid-May when Xiao Yao arrived at school, and there was still more than a month before the graduation drama. Xiao Yao originally wanted to ask the instructor of a certain graduation drama to add a role for himself to join, but the teacher of the Shen opera But no one wanted Xiao Yao to join in midway, but asked him to rehearse another scene.

The meaning of asking Xiao Yao to rehearse another play is not to find another instructor to rehearse a play for Xiao Yao, but to let Xiao Yao act as the director and arrange this play by himself.

Of course, it is not impossible for the school to temporarily arrange another teacher to guide Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao has been a director himself, won awards for short films, and has good grades for feature films, so the school will take this as an embarrassment Xiao Yao, or, is taking this opportunity to give Xiao Yao, a monster, another chance to show off.

Xiao Yao acted in dramas with Sun Zhihao when he was more than eight years old. At that time, he was already an adult mind with a superb memory. He had observed how Sun Zhihao worked as a drama director at that time. When participating in Sound Immersive at the beginning of last year, Xiao Yao acted in two stage plays, especially the rehearsal of the final sound show in the finals. He has learned a lot from the side of the great director Xu Changrong. For a school graduation play , Xiao Yao is still confident.

It's okay to write and direct by myself. In terms of time, it's not a big problem to rehearse another play for more than a month, but the problem is that Xiao Yao has no one! You can't let Xiao Yao perform a one-man show alone in the graduation drama, right? Regarding the question Xiao Yao raised, the teachers did not embarrass Xiao Yao anymore.

The number of students in the Acting Department of Shenxi Opera this year is about the same as in previous years, forty-eight. Judging from the situation in previous years, the number of students absent from the graduation drama of Shenxi Opera every year is in the single digits. There are about forty students participating, usually divided into six crews, and six plays are arranged. The actors in each play are in seven Personal or so. This year, due to Xiao Yao's crew, there are six less actors, so one play has been reduced, and the number of actors in each play is still similar to previous years.

Because there were only five dramas during the preparation period, this year Shenxi also arranged for five teachers to serve as the instructors of the graduation drama. The other teachers have other work arrangements. This is why the school asked Xiao Yao to be the director of the drama rehearsal another reason.

Now there is still more than a month before the graduation drama. With seven to eight actors, it is not much more difficult to reduce one role than to add one. Now Xiao Yao is asked to rehearse another play, and the instructors of each play also agree that each crew will produce an actor, and let Xiao Yao form a new crew.

Although the graduation drama is to show the students their own report performances, the instructor will try to balance the number of roles for each role, but no drama can achieve the same number of roles, there will always be a difference between the protagonist and the supporting role. There is no way for each student to have a different role.

In a play, the protagonist must be more difficult to move than the supporting role, so the student actors assigned by several instructors to Xiao Yao are all supporting actors with the least roles in several plays.

No matter what their academic performance is or what their business level is, they are all people who have studied in the Shenxi Acting Department for four years. No matter how poor their level is, it is not much worse. Moreover, it is just a graduation drama, not a commercial activity. Acting well or badly is an experience, so Xiao Yao didn't pick it or not, and accepted everything according to the order.

For those students who have been adjusted, Xiao Yao's professional level as a director may not be as high as that of the school's instructors, but he is at least a director who has won awards for short films, high-grossing feature films, and good ratings. I guess Not bad. Moreover, Xiao Yao is a monster with a good reputation and high popularity. Not to mention that he may change from a supporting role to a leading role, even if he is still assigned a supporting role, acting in a graduation drama with him may also get more attention. Xiao Yao didn't have any objections there, but was a little excited and looking forward to it.

One month is neither short nor long. After discussing the readjustment of assignments, Xiao Yao got the list of actors given to him by the instructors, and immediately called these people to the rehearsal classroom assigned to them, and met with them.

Among these five people, only one is Xiao Yao's classmate, and the remaining four are students from the other two classes. But they are all students from the same department. Even though Xiao Yao spends less time in school than other people because of his work, after four years, the students in the same department are basically familiar with each other. After the meeting, everyone didn't spend too long greeting each other and exchanging feelings with each other, and soon discussed the graduation drama.

To rehearse a play, the first step is of course to have a script.

Xiao Yao is the director of this graduation drama, and he is also the screenwriter. Before meeting these students, Xiao Yao had already thought about what kind of story he was going to play, but he didn't plan to finish the script, but planned to co-create with the students who starred in this graduation drama.

Before coming to meet Xiao Yao, the advisor had told these students that this graduation drama was mainly about Xiao Yao, with Xiao Yao himself acting as the director and screenwriter. It is certain that Xiao Yao will be the director, but Xiao Yao wants to write the script with them, and everyone has no objection. I heard that Xiao Yao only prepared a story outline, and they wanted to listen to their opinions. While everyone felt happy in their hearts, they also listened to the story outline that Xiao Yao told them very seriously.

What Xiao Yao wants to stage in the graduation drama is the story of the donkey getting water in his previous life. After Xiao Yao told everyone the outline of the story, everyone was very interested in this humorous and absurd realistic story, and they all agreed that it was much more interesting than the graduation dramas they had lined up before, of course. Passed unanimously.

Since the students have no objection to Xiao Yao's script outline, the next step is to get down to business and start perfecting the script and rehearsing.

This time, Xiao Yao did not have a professional screenwriting team, but worked with the actors of the play he was going to act in to create the script, so he did not adopt the script creation mode of the previous TV series, and called everyone to have a meeting to brainstorm Storm, gathered everyone's wisdom and ideas to perfect all the details of the script before proceeding to the next step, but started rehearsing according to the outline of the script, and perfected the details of the script according to everyone's feelings during the rehearsal.

The Lv Deshui in the previous life was a drama performed commercially in a theater, and its duration was also the duration of a commercially performed drama. The graduation drama of the Shenxi Acting Department is just a stage play. The entire graduation play lasted only about two hours. There were six graduation plays, and it only took about ten or twenty minutes to perform six graduation plays. About one-sixth of the drama.

The Lv Deshui in the previous life was a drama performed commercially in a theater, and its duration was also the duration of a commercially performed drama. The graduation drama of the Shenxi Acting Department is just a stage play. The entire graduation play lasted only about two hours. There were six graduation plays, and it only took about ten or twenty minutes to perform six graduation plays. About one-sixth of the drama.

Therefore, compared with the original version, there is a huge gap between this graduation drama version of Lu Deshui. Although Xiao Yao has seen the original drama and the original movie in his previous life, how to reduce such a story to one-sixth of the time is still very, very difficult.

Fortunately, Xiao Yao's rehearsal is a student stage play in a university, not a commercial play, and the requirements for this play are not so high. With the collective wisdom of five classmates to help, it is not impossible to complete Degree.

It took Xiao Yao and the five actors and classmates two weeks to determine the details of the script and complete the final script. After that, it took another two weeks for everyone to rehearse this graduation drama that they jointly created. have to be more familiar.

A month has passed, and the time for the performance of the graduation drama is very close. Everyone's rehearsal venue has also been transferred from the rehearsal room to the school theater where the graduation drama will be held in the future. Of course, this theater is used by several graduation drama crews in turn, and the rehearsal time is not as abundant and free as in the rehearsal classroom before. Fortunately, at this time, all the details of their graduation drama have been finalized. There is no need to discuss and revise the script while rehearsing. If it is just rehearsal to increase familiarity and tacit understanding, the rehearsal time is enough.
